SAINSBURY'S DEVELOPMENT, LEICESTER

That this House condemns the disruption that the construction of Sainsbury's in Leicester has caused for local residents on the Melton Road and other adjoining roads; notes that the construction works being carried out for the 80,000 square-foot foodstore are causing severe delays to traffic in the area; further notes that local residents are being disturbed throughout the night and local businesses are being affected as a result of road closures; recognises that the local community was not consulted or warned of this commotion that is causing misery; and urges the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to implement new planning guidance to prevent this sorry state of affairs from ever happening again.
